From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 4): Bomb explosion kills one in Zamboanga del Sur
The authorities are conducting thorough investigation to identify the man found dead in an explosion site in theprovince of Zamboanga del Sur
This, as the police authorities are inclined to believe that the man, whose head and arms were blown off, could be the carrier of the bomb that may have prematurely exploded.
The explosion occurred around 9:35 p.m. Tuesday along the national highway of Barangay Tapodoc, Labangan, Zamboanga del Sur, according to Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) information officer Chief Insp. Ariel Huesca.
Huesca, citing reports from the field, said the 9th Regional Public Safety Battalion’s explosive ordnance demolition (EOD) and Labangan policemen have recovered another unexploded bomb while sifting through the site of the explosion during a post-blast investigation.
Huesca said the recovered unexploded bomb is a cellular phone-triggered explosive with a 60-milimeter mortar shell as the main charge.
The EOD conducted disruption procedure on the recovered bomb, according to Huesca.
He said the body of the unidentified man was found around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday some 15 meters away from blast site by telecommunications giant firm’s technicians who repaired the communication cables damaged by the bomb explosion.
He said the Labangan police command is conducting a “follow-up investigation to possibly identify the victim and the possible participation” as well as and the motive of the incident.
